EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Paris House of Detention for Criminals" takes us back to the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of crime and punishment in Paris. The print showcases the bustling activity within the prison walls as it captures a moment of preparation for new arrivals. In this scene, we witness prisoners being escorted through the imposing gates of the Paris House of Detention. Guards guide them towards their temporary home, known as double cells, where they will await further processing. The atmosphere is tense yet intriguing, with each detainee undergoing an anthropometrical examination to document their physical characteristics. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this somber environment. We can almost feel the weight of history as we observe every aspect meticulously depicted – from the architecture of Grande Salle to the expressions on both prisoners' and guards' faces. As we contemplate this engraving from our private collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, societies grappled with issues surrounding crime and incarceration. This lithograph by Julius Mandes Price allows us to reflect upon how far society has come in terms of criminal justice systems while acknowledging that there is still much work ahead.
